    From some quick napkin math I came up with (this will only net you 1 item):
    Dont use toil
    Utmost - Impulsive x4
    Single Mind - Method x 1
    Collect x 1

    On average this should net you the most rarity.

    Another rotation (nets you 2 items, but will be 20% less quality than above, on average):
    Deep Breath
    Utmost Caution
    Discerning Eye
    Instinctual x 3
    Collect x 2

    The only thing I dont know for sure is if Utmost and Deep Breath work against each other. Still leaves you with 5 more wear, can probably be improved once we have 700gp

    The second rotation you posted works very well. I get around 2 items with 450-550 quality each time.

    How much Gathering and Perception are needed for your second rotation?

    Right now with Haddock Dip I am at 500 perception.

    499 Gathering is enough to get the items .. but 487 Perception is too low for that second rotation. I got two Heavens Lemons at 350ish Collectability .. and those things require 450 ..

    Stupid question but I'm guessing this is with better gear and higher level? I have basically max Foragers and the 2nd rotation leaves me short of 400 consistently, much less 450.

    Or rather, for just leveling should I even try getting more than 1 item from the stuff higher than Yellow Copper Ore / Old World Fig?

    For just leveling up, I've successfully gotten the stuff between the 3 star options, and the 450+ Collectability. Dravanian Mistletoe, the mushroom things, Pearl Sprouts, Chalocite, Yellow Quartz. What I did was, with 600 GP and generally BiS gear from before HW :

    One swing to reveal.
    Discerning Eye, Methodical Appraisal. Discerning Eye, Methodical Appraisal. Discerning Eye, Methodical Appraisal.
    Collect two items.

    I try it with a Heavens Lemon or Abalathian Rock Salt, though, and I'm left with nothing to hand in - not enough Collectability. And that's after boosting my Gathering and Perception (at the cost of some 23 GP) with the storebought left side NQ gear.

    Is there any benefit to getting so much collectability?

    Wearing pre-HW gear, with 600GP and no food, I'm consistantly getting at least 4 (rarely 5) 3* items with above minimum collectability by using:
    1 hit to expose the item in slot 2,
    Ageless Words or Solid reason to get that hit back,
    Field Mastery or Sharp Vision to get a 100% gathering rate,
    Discerning eye,
    Instinctual Appraisal,
    another Instinctual Appraisal (if I haven't struck lucky and passed the 240 already),
    and then collect 4 times (or 5 if I didn't have to use the 2nd Instinctual).

    I still seem to get around the 60k experience per item regardless of if I have more collectability or not. 580k per 70mins for both my BTN and MIN classes is how I've been levelling them both up without the need for leves (I'm also doing all 8 crafting classes at once so that allowance can only go so far), just going between the Yellow Copper Ore and the Old World Fig and returning every half hour -ish. Of course starred GC hand ins and the like are always nice too :3

    For YCO and OWF that's all you need to do. I do slightly different and I feel it nets 4/sometimes5 often enough (without gambling on Methodical twice).

    (Also, if you use Attempt+1-300GP you can Toil for the same effect instead)

    Hit-reveal
    Instinctual - looking for at least 125
    Methodical - if last Instinctual was not 125, use Discerning Eye
    Hit 4 times, a 5th time if you didn't have to use Discerning Eye

    You could try using Impulsive but I feel Methodical gives 125+ more than 30% of the time so I don't like the gamble.

    For pure EXP, YCO and OWF blow everything else from 50-55 collectibles away. I think all the way up honestly, because you can't really beat 240k/300k a node with 1-2 items (the most you will get on later nodes).

    Just looking at my current Rowena's Hand in list on my Timers ...

    Lv 56 Heavens Lemon - 450-499C, 48 scrip, 155520 exp; 500-529C, 52 scrip, 171072 exp; 530C+, 57 scrip, 186624 exp
    Lv 54 Dravanian Mistletoe - 400-449C, 0 scrip, 131040 exp; 450-499C, 0 scrip 144144 exp; 500+C, 0 scrip, 157248 exp
    Lv 52 Pearl Sprouts - 400-449C, 0 scrip, 88704 exp; 450-499C, 0 scrip, 97574 exp; 500+C, 0 scrip 106444 exp
    Lv 50 Old World Fig - 240-399C, 0 scrip, 60480 exp; 400-449C, 0 scrip, 66528C, 450+C, 0 scrip 72576 exp


    Collecting 4 OWF at the base level would get roughly 240k exp. Collecting two PS at the middle or top levels would get around 200k exp (less if middle, more if top). Collecting two Dravanian Mistletoe at the top level gets me over 300k exp. Unfortunately for me, my stats at 57 are not high enough to collect the HL at even the base level. Although the desired item on the Mining side is level 53 and not 54, the Chalcocite is in the same boat as the Dravanian Mistletoe - less exp than the Dravanian Mistletoe, but at the highest level two of them are worth more exp than four Old World Fig.

    My method for collecting those two items is the one I state above, using 600 GP. That was getting me 450+ Collectability on any node prior to the level 56 scrips node (where I got a lot less) and is currently getting me a little over 500 Collectability on the Dravanian Mistletoe/Chalcocite.

    Actually, upon reflection, I'm thinking that collecting three of the low Collectability level 54 item is better than collecting two of the high Collectability level 54 item. That would be with the level 57 ability, Single Mind, which costs 200 GP.
    One swing to reveal, then start collecting.
    Discerning Eye, Methodical Appraisal. Discerning Eye, Methodical Appraisal. Single Mind, Methodical Appraisal. Collect 3 items.
    I'm going to have to try this next time, it might even be (given my 499 Gathering, 487 Perception) enough to hit mid level Collectability.
